History edit
Gregory dated it to the 13th or 14th century.[4] Scrivener dated it to the 11th century.[3] Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[2]
The manuscript came from the monastery of St. Micheal de Troyna in Sicily.[3] The manuscript was examined by Birch, Scholz.[4] It was partially collated by G. F. Rinck. According to Scrivener it is an important copy, which text often resembling Minuscule 618,[3] but according to C. R. Gregory its text is "schlecht" (poor). Gregory saw it in 1886.[4]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz. Formerly it was labelled by 96a and 109p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 460 to it.[1]
It is currently housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. Z. 11 (379)) in Venice.[2]
